Cupid bought some valentines for $2.50. how much did he pay in sales tax if the tax rate is 6.5%?

       item cost = $2.50

sales tax rate = 6.5% > 0.065
                                           
                      = $2.50 × 0.065 
                      ≈ 0.16
                      = $2.50 + 0.16
                      = $2.66
                    

So Cupid paid $2.66.

Hope I helped :P

                      

The answer is $2.66

hope that this helped
